A = 94.22 Newtons

b = 58.16 kg

Gravity on the moon is 1.62 m/s^2

A total charge of 4.70 is distributed on two metal spheres. When the spheres are 10 cm apart, they each feel a repulsive force o

Anna35 [415]

Answer:0.114 C

Explanation:

Given

Total 4.7 C is distributed in two spheres

Let $q_1$ and $q_2$ be the charges such that

$q_1+q_2=4.7$

and Force between charge particles is given by

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

$4.7\times 10^11=\frac{9\times 10^9\times q_1\cdot q_2}{0.1^2}$

$q_1\cdot q_2=0.522$

put the value of $q_1$

$q_2\left ( 4.7-q_2\right )=0.522$

$q_2^2-4.7q_2+0.522=0$

$q_2=\frac{4.7\pm \sqrt{4.7^2-4\times 1\times 0.522}}{2}$

$q_2=0.114 C$

thus $q_1=4.586 C$

A car accelerates from zero to a speed of 110

Verizon [17]

The car's rate of acceleration : a = 2.04 m/s²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

speed = 110 km/hr

time = 15 s

Required

The acceleration

Solution

110 km/hr⇒30.56 m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time

a = Δv : Δt

Input the value :

a = 30.56 m/s : 15 s

a = 2.04 m/s²

A horizontal pipe contains water at a pressure of 110 kPa flowing with a speed of 1.4 m/s. When the pipe narrows to one half its

Pavel [41]

Answer:

a

$v_2 = 5.6 \ m/s$

b

$P_2 = 80600 \ Pa$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The pressure of the water in the pipe is $P_1= 110 \ kPa = 110 *10^{3 } \ Pa$

The speed of the water is $v_1 = 1.4 \ m/s$

The original area of the pipe is $A_1 = \pi \frac{d^2 }{4}$

The new area of the pipe is $A_2 = \pi * \frac{[\frac{d}{2} ]^2}{4} = \pi * \frac{\frac{d^2}{4} }{4} = \pi \frac{d^2}{16}$

Generally the continuity equation is mathematically represented as

$A_1 * v_1 = A_2 * v_2$

Here $v_2$ is the new velocity

So

$\pi * \frac{d^2}{4} * 1.4 = \pi * \frac{d^2}{16} * v_2$

=> $\frac{d^2}{4} * 1.4 = \frac{d^2}{16} * v_2$

=> $d^2 * 1.4 = \frac{d^2}{4} * v_2$

=> $1.4 = 0.25 * v_2$

=> $v_2 = 5.6 \ m/s$

Generally given that the height of the original pipe and the narrower pipe are the same , then we will b making use of the Bernoulli's equation for constant height to calculate the pressure

This is mathematically represented as

$P_1 + \frac{1}{2} * \rho * v_1 ^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} * \rho * v_2 ^2$

Here $\rho$ is the density of water with value $\rho = 1000 \ kg /m^3$

$P_2 = P_1 + \frac{1}{2} * \rho [ v_1^2 - v_2^2 ]$

=> $P_2 = 110 *10^{3} + \frac{1}{2} * 1000 * [ 1.4 ^2 - 5.6 ^2 ]$

=> $P_2 = 80600 \ Pa$
